For bigger ceilings always used to use the small trestles can get away with 3 and 2 planks. Bit of adjustment on them and don't take up masses of room.
Personally if trying to save and do it yourself pva the bits that need patching first and rather then patch with plaster do it with lightweight filler. Whatever you go for will need sanding if your new to it and nicer to sand lightweight filler then plaster. With time and effort should be able...
We have used this before on brickwork with pretty good results http://www.liquidweather.co.uk worth speaking to the customer about and trying somewhere inconspicuous if it's color that's the issue.
A the last firm I was at out of 7 apprentices 1 ended up with a job others all had the same opportunities but either got sacked or left for some reason or other! Some of the people you end up with are unbelieveable they do cause some stress.
I haven't tried finishing with them yet found it just let me get straight on it still wet and I just tidied up the corners until it picked up a bit finished it as normal.
There is a few different floor protector boards about now not sure on the brand we used but if working over more then a few days and the floors need saving they are ideal. Offers a little bit of protection of things being dropped too. Bit over kill if just in and out though the tarps make more...
I got a makita one free for some reason or other years ago been great webbing belt with big plastic clip loads of adjustment on it. The pouch is pretty solid with screw gun holster and hammer loop on it I gather you can add to them but it's always been enough.
All the sites I've been on lately have been skimmed mostly social housing but even a few huge commercial sites I'd of expected to be taped. Not sure on the skim prices but I was chatting to some of the lads and they reckoned it's getting better after a crap few years.
I'd go for ready mix makes life that little bit easier! Quite a few smaller company's about do the barrowing for you, gotta put some extra creativity in with the planks through doors and up stairs maybe chuck a see saw section in to get your money's worth.
Done quite a bit of grouting when I was younger and always used standard car sponges with a couple of clean buckets of water as that's what I was given. Still have a hatred of black tiles with slate effect on them! Intrigued by those wash boys and the proper sponges seen them used a few times do...
The tiler we used to use preferred traditional screed not sure why though so always tended to use it unless it was a massive job or wheelbarrow access was an issue. Amazing the speed that the liquid goes down.
Nitromors comes in a nice hand application tin.
I normally use the bodyshop hemp cream when they get a bit worse for wear seems to do the trick. Little greasy though so need 10-15 minutes before being able to do anything!
Did Milwaukee and Kango merge? My old place had a few original Kangos which finally gave up after years of abuse and he switched to Bosch on our repairers recommendation. In the 4 years up until I left they hadn't broken down yet and they had been used a lot gotten wet and just generally...
Good idea having the latex screed on top I'm sure I'd seen it done without before!
I think pipes and cables both have a place cables are ideal for bathrooms etc when major building works aren't going on no need to kango up floors for the insualtion and screed depth or pipe trays to fit if...
No ones making out it's some magical dark art and I do believe you can get a grounding in most things in a short space of time. But doing it to a high standard and making it pay is something entirely different.
Strangely chatting to a chippy mate about that today adding extra supports in the middle as some baths seem pretty flimsy. Used to do a lot of maintenance on rental properties for a customer some of the baths you could move with your hands they must of had 3 tubes of silicone in them. Great fun...
Looks handy that electric cutter seems very similar to the big masonry saws but they are nightmare for the mess off the spray.
My old gaffer had a couple of ancient Rubis in metal boxes think they were older then me and still going strong!
You can see it wet or dry, I think you may be overthinking it a little unless your going mad with the water after it's set you shouldn't have too many problems.
Should be pretty obvious it will be shiny! Not a lot to say on it you'll be putting in a lot of extra effort to polish it though so try and get a nice finish before it's too hard.
I don't see a way round it with plastering of bricklaying no ones going to die from a bit of rough work! The college my old firm was getting apprentices off was a joke, the plasterers used multi a grand total of once at the end of the course the rest was render with sand and lime. They were...
See a lot of bad skimming about some of it in customers houses that has been done previously and they think it's a good job!
Same with brickwork on site seem to get gangs that throw the first lift up and disappear before anything comes back on them. Honestly it would be hard to get as bad as...
I'd always wanted one but ended up using my old gaffers for a while and it totally put me off. It would be the old shape now but top spec crew cab like the worst of both worlds the load beds small and too high plus the back seats have zero leg room. Not particularly comfy or a nice driving...
£2k does sound mega cheap but if you know and trust him ask if he has any previous render jobs to have a look at. S&C will obviously be cheaper material wise but as long as it's done properly you shouldn't have any worry's. A lot of bad render around of all types though so just make 100% sure...
CSCS - Construction Skills Certification Scheme - OFFICIAL WEBSITEIf you go on the actual CSCS site you can input your area and it will show the local centers they are the cheapest. A few company's seem to add a bit on but you still do the test through the same people.
I never got past a bucket for plastering stuff but use one of these for my brick tools http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=310401888322 takes some abuse can stand on it etc. Waterproof and fits a 600 level in with space would be ideal for trowels and shorter spats could probably...
Brush of bottle won't make your finish better! If you having to use loads of water to try and get it smooth your leaving it too late.
I think you said it yourself most people can't do plastering there is a reason for that it's a skilled job. By all means learn to plaster but do it properly try...
Only ever used the poly floats got a wooden one somewhere that I acquired but never used! Ended up with some from a Travis stock take they were the own brand trade line ones no idea what they were made of they were that soft ended up chucking them. Worth spending a bit more on them.
I was only thinking of that this week the state my hands have been in I used to use it a lot when I was rock climbing more seriously always kept me going.
Building inspectors on domestic stuff around here allow engineers with 3kn/7kn blockwork just not with thermos. On site it has to be concrete bricks with the 3kn/7kn.
I reckon those noggins will do enough for what your doing certainly take some of the movement out anyway. I'm guessing you aren't...
I always used a makita autofeed as it was provided for me it was fussy with cheap screws. I have the 10v bosch impact driver that I used for any screws it couldn't get great tool for the size of it perfect for boarding but they lack the grunt for other jobs if your driving 4" screws into timber...
